Denbit

Training wheels for the NodeMCU

##Installation

  • Download and install the Aduino IDE plus any drivers it asks too. You can use the free version with the JUST DOWNLOAD link. No need to donate money.

  • Install the NodeMCU "board" into the Arduino IDE:

  • Start Arduino and open Preferences window.

  • Enter http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into Additional Board Manager URLs field and click Ok:

  • Open the Boards Manager Tools > Board > Boards Manager...:

  • Scroll down to esp8266 by ESP8266 Community, click More info and select version 2.2.0 then click install:

  • Click Close once it installed

  • Select the NodeMCU 1.0 board from Tools > Board menu and select NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module):

  • Install the denbit library

  • Download the latest release of this repo

  • Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library... then select the file downloaded in the step above.

  • Rename ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/denbit/src/default_config.h to config.h and edit its content to have the wifi access details and your denbit's name.

  • Mac users, if programming with a usb cable, install the driver from www.silabs.com (direct link).

Make it do something...

  • Connect the denbit to the usb port of the computer.
  • Select the Port the usb is connected to
  • On a Mac it will be /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART
  • On Windows it will be COMM and a number so something like COMM4
  • Load the Blink "sketch"
  • File -> Examples -> Denbit -> Basics -> Blink
  • Compile (verify) the software: click the tick in the top left of the Arduino application...

  • wait while it compiles...

  • Upload the software: click the arrow in the top left of the Arduino application:

  • wait while it uploads...

  • The center light will be blue while it uploads.

  • When the Arduino window says "Done uploading" the green light will blink on & off
  • Change the Blink sketch so that delay(1000) is delay(500), then compile & upload again. The green LED will now blink twice as fast

Play with the Denbit Basic examples

Play with servos

Then use some sensors
